Recovery Stumbles, Consumers Cautious – Fashion Faces Rocky 2024

• McKinsey report: Slow, uneven global rebound casts doubt on industry's future.

• Pessimistic consumers, inflation squeeze value creation and growth.

Learning from 2023: US, Europe Lag, China Falters

• Performance hinges on adapting to past challenges: weak Western markets, China's slowdown.

• Demand shifts threaten 'bullwhip effect': supply chain instability, job losses, investment delays.

Resilience and Innovation Key to Success

• Fashion must navigate obstacles: create value, find new growth drivers, understand diverse influences.

• Luxury remains profitable, but growth slows to 3-5% (down from 5-7% in 2023).

US Luxury Rebounds Slightly, Optimism in Emerging Markets

• US, Europe cautious, but American luxury to see 2-4% year-on-year growth after a rough 2023.

• India, Southeast Asia offer glimmers of hope with their rapidly expanding fashion industries.

Will fashion weather the storm and find its new rhythm in 2024?.
